Been showing signs that his turn may not be far away and continues to drop down the weights. Player here if everything drops right.

Busy individual that like many from this yard thrives on his racing. Goes well for this rider and conditions no problem so every chance of another good effort.

Been running over a variety of trips without success. Dropped another 4lbs after failing to make the running at Yarmouth last time. Down further in trip but more needed for win purposes.

Not done much in quite a while and well beaten here over C&D last month. Beaten a long way over hurdles since. Blinkers go back on but impossible to fancy at present unless market screams his name.

Won twice last year including over this trip at Salisbury off 3lb lower. Well beaten on return to action at Chepstow last month but almost certainly needed the run and will be interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Hasn't won since 2014 and can be a bit in-and-out. Would need to be very much on a going day to trouble some of these and place claims at best.

Had a busy year already and mark has been slipping as a result. hard to be confident but is on a decent mark now and no surprise were he to run well.

Showed distinct promise on debut but the wheels have largely fallen off since. Mark is rapidly falling and blinkers go on to try and spark back into life.

Well beaten so far this year in two handicap starts. Goes back up in trip here but others have stronger claims in this.

Big prices and well beaten in three starts so far. Makes handicap debut off a realistic mark and it would be no great surprise to see a better showing now and market move interesting.

Forecasts

Cosmogyral (3/1), Top Beak (4/1), Full Suit (4/1), Let Me In (6/1), Ravenhoe (7/1), Boniface (10/1), Photonics (12/1), Austin Friars (20/1), Lyrica's Lion (25/1), Robert The Painter (25/1)

Verdict

Cosmogyral starts life in handicaps off a basement mark and improvement is now distinctly possible. Lyrica's Lion is a dark horse who could go well at a big price. Ravenhoe is respected with his talented young rider taking off 7lbs. Slight preference is for TOP BEAK who has been shaping like his turn is not far away and he has dropped to a very tempting mark.
  1. Top Beak
  2. Ravenhoe
  3. Lyrica's Lion
